How to increase upload speed

**tarunno** · #1 05-23-2006, 05:34 AM

I am using a 1MB NTL connection for my torrents. I also use a desktop dedicated for the download and upload only. I don’t share the line with anyone and I don’t use the line for browsing as well. But I am getting maximum 20 kbps upload speed(though i set it to infinity). How can I increase that? I am now seeding almost 24 hours a day. But because of the speed it is very difficult to upload more. Please help me to solve this problem.

hi tarunno,

1. which client are you using?
2. are you using any router/modem?
3. your windows firewall/mcafee firewall active?

if you are using bitcomet you may have a look on the following link:

Thanks for the reply. Here are the answers of your questions

1. I am using Azureus
2. I use a cable modem for the connection. There is no router.
3. My windows fire wall is active but in the exception Azureus is selected.

Is there any specific setting I need to do in the client to geet high speed? Bye..

i have no idea what can be the reason for your slow speed. but i may suggest you to change your client to BitComet as it is the best ever with very low CPU usage. it is based on C++. Download BitComet version 0.64 it is the best. newer versions have some bugs.

does your cable modem have any built-in firewall? if yes, then you have to forward some ports. use port number between 49152 and 65534 in your BitComet Preferences.

Try it and see if the problem is solved.

Hello,
I am also facing the same problem, my upload speed is 10 KBS/s and my internet connection is 1 MBS. I am using bit torrents. I have to seed 24 hours a day to have minimum ratio. any help to over this problem ?
Thank you.,
:flamethro :( :bawling:

I wanna see everyone's ratio is over 1.01 . If it's then I will release 2 dramas and 2 movies everyday and those never been released anywhere lese before :). Let's see what happens !!! So , it's the perfect time to seed for others .

I have installed the BitComet 0.64. It is doing fine with the downloading but the upload speed is still very small (about 10Kbps). I checked the link you told me and did everything mentioned there. My port is alright and speed test shows my upload speed is 750 Kbps and download is 85 Kbps. So I set the download speed 50 Kbps. What else can I do? Is there any relation between the upload speed and number of files in open in the client?

Hi Tarunno, I don't think you will be getting more than 20 KBps upload as you are using only 1 MB NTL connection. The only way you can increase uploading speed is by calling your service provider and asking them to upgrade your internet speed. Unfortunately, they will be charging you more than you are paying now. You can be a great seeder by upgrading your internet speed. One of the example is sunny0183, who is using NTL too and one of our top seeder.

Let me give you an example. My internet speed is 8MB. That does not mean that I'll be getting 8MB download speed. Remember that kbps and KBps is not same. Please check your internet speed from the following link.

I checked my speed and the result I got is the following one

Now, take a look at the red round box. That is my original upload speed (59.81 KBps). Please check your internet speed now and I dont think it is more than 20 KBps. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the detail description of the problem. I have checked the speed and it is really below 20 KBps. I have realised the problem now. I am seeding my best to make my ratio high. By the way, can anyone please tell me what is Re Power attach with me? I have 2 now. When I started I had 0. I also have the title Desh PremiK now. I started with Nobin. I really like to know their significance. Bye..

Now then, BTTB is connected with Submarince Cable and all the ISP's still need at least 4+ months to get the connection. hai re Shonar Bangladesh!!! But still thanks to them as they have set relatively lower price for usage of that service comparing to some other neighboring countries. the Max bandwidth will be 10 GB. currently the whole country is using like 150 MB/s. I am absolutely surprised kinda speed you guys have in your sides.
